New system: Z87I-Deluxe/i7-4770K/UEFI/Clover -1597. Problem with the system clock; a minute goes by in 3 seconds, dialog boxes disappear before an entry can be made. System Info says 3.5 GHz. BIOS settings are all default. Legacy boot is normal. Suggestions?

Define BusSpeedKhz by hand, the one that works for you in legacy boot.

Is this wrong?

This is good. But you have to look into text representation of the "boolean". It is not xxx as you may expect. No!

This is just or .

Your problem is already resolved in recent Clover.

Then let me explain. The first time I installed clover as a bootloader it worked perfectly, no issues at all, both from USB and HDD. Now, I had to reinstall OSX and Clover does not work anymore. I don't know if it has any influence or not, trust me, it doesn't make sense to me either. Right now when I select OSX in the Clover boot menu it just does not work - black screen - if I press any key I get back to the select menu.

Already tried this, no luck.

You should make some more effort and tell some more info to help you.

Trouble with recent Clover. Downloaded 1974 from Clover EFI bootloader - Browse Files at SourceForge.net.

The config.plist has Boolean as type for many properties. Discarded for config-sample.plist.zip from Clover v.2 Instructions - Page 2 - Clover - InsanelyMac Forum. Edited the sample plist to as similar as possible to the working Clover 1597 config.plist and installed in Clover 1974/EFI/CLOVER/OEM/P8Z77-I DELUXE/UEFI/config.plist.

Clover 1974 boots with AGPM and AICPUPM errors, HD4000 in VESA mode, no WiFi, etc. IOReg says the sysdef is imac12,2 instead of macmin6,2 in config.plist.

Clover 1974 is not loading config.plist (even when put in the place it is looking). It did not load the Patched DSDT or SSDTs. No idea where imac12,2 came from, patched Voodoo but there is no Voodoo, etc. Below is the boot log for working Clover 1597 and nonworking Clover 1974.

Perhaps Clover doesn't like your plist and skips it. I don't know why but in my system your uploaded plist is opened by TextEdit instead of the default Plist Editor (formatting issue?). Here's a "proper" version, I fixed a couple of outdated things, and also deleted the CPU section as it should detect it correctly now. Also I'm not sure if the MLB variable is read anymore, I haven't used it in a while and have had zero issues with iCloud or Messages.

Thanks for editing my config.plist. The only thing that changed is boot hangs; can only get to the Desktop in safe mode. Clover 1974 is not loading the config.plist, dsdt or ssdts. Perhaps, 1942 is a better choice.

tonydickinson · August 22, 2013

Mr Toleda - you have helped so many people.

I am assuming that you are trying UEFI boot. Firstly in your EFI/CLOVER directory, please ensure that your config.plist resides in this location. Please also check that any details contained in the OEM folder are removed as multiple DSDT/SSDT/ and config.plists can exist. Please make sure the the EFI/CLOVER/themes directory has a valid theme loaded and it is the same as shown in the config.plist under GUI.

Please have a try with this version, but the theme name will need to be changed as will the ScreenResolution if 2560X1440 is not correct. in boot args slide=0 is no longer required as is MLB no longer required. I would also suggest you use the latest version of Clover (1979) for this test as there have been some positive changes recently. I would also suggest that you try it without the SSDTs initially as they can be added later. You might also initially try with GenerateIvyStates without the SSDTS as the tuning can come later. Before booting clear your nvram by entering nvram -c in terminal.

Config.plist and latest clover can be found here:

For a quick fix try moving all your tables and config out of the OEM folder. Place your config.plist in /CLOVER/ and your tables in /CLOVER/ACPI/patched. They should load from there.

Thanks for the taking the time to edit config.plist and make suggestions. The result was no change. However, it appears the Clover-1979 attached is really Clover-1974:

You should go from the point that Clover-19xx actually do load config.plist and dsdt.aml. May be you need to visit WIKI?

Do you have Clover as "Boot option in Bios"? If so try removing it and from Boot from HDD name. I had a similar issue once where some how the boot option was set to the wrong HDD and I also had weird SMBIOS info and wrong config_

That is totally weird as I did send you the correct 1979 pkg file compiled here with CloverGrowerPro, and installed here as 1979. I can only suggest that you are infact booting from a different location. I have only one Clover here loaded on the ESP partition of my OSX SSD drive (disk0s1), any backups are held on removable USB sticks and used for testing only. Very strange as it should work well for you.

I am using a usb stick. I tried six Clover versions, all the same problem, erased, reinstalled, no success. Imaged the working drive and created a 1597 clone that worked. Installed 1797 and the drive is not recognized for UEFI boot; something present in 1597 is gone in 1797. Did not make any progress today and still don't know why recent Clover is not working on my systems.

Hello Toleda

Can you upload a Darwindump?

And can you try to boot legacy to see if it works OK .

joe75 · August 23, 2013

@afd_sg, i grabbed that pkg and it installed 1979 fine.. thanks

Hello Toleda

Can you upload a Darwindump?

And can you try to boot legacy to see if it works OK .

Chameleon boots fine. Attached are two Darwin Dumps: 1. Clover 1597 UEFI working, 2. Clover 1979 safe mode. Regarding 1979, using GUID, erasing the partition is not enough to install a different version of Clover, it has to be partitioned. With 1979, Clover is setting sysdef to macmini6,1 rather than imac12,2, good news. However, config.plist and dsdt are not loading which makes a normal boot impossible. It appears Clover is looking for the files in the EFI partition rather than the EFI folder. Thanks for your help.

Thanks for answer,Slice.

I found that overclock with clover needs ssdt.(without it panic or slow system clock)

normal clock without ssdt

overclock with maciasl generic ssdt
